Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Obernahme und zum Weitertransport von Falzprodukten von einem Falzapparat durch eine umlaufende endlose Transportvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a device for taking over and further transporting folded products from a folding device by means of a revolving endless transport device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der EP 01 70 179 ist eine Vorrichtung der vorangehend bezeichneten Gattung bekannt, mit der Falzprodukte von einem Falzapparat direkt entnommen und mit verlangsamter Geschwindigkeit weiterverarbeitenden Aggregaten oder einer Auslage zugeführt werden können. Bei dieser Vorrichtung kommt es darauf an, daß die die Falzprodukte übernehmenden Mitnehmer hinter dem Falzrücken eingeführt werden, bevor die beiden Hälften der Falzprodukte sich vollständig schließen. Dadurch können ohne die Verwendung eines Öffnungszylinders in der nachfolgenden Weiterverarbeitungsphase z.B. Falzprodukte gesammelt oder in diese Einlagen eingefügt werden. Es ist bekannt, Falzprodukte von Zylinder zu Zylinder mittels Greifern zu übergeben. Es ist des weiteren bei Bogenmaschinen, z.B. aus der DE 24 36 998 A1, bekannt, Bogen auf einer konvexen Bahn in Greifern zum Ausleger zu führen.From EP 01 70 179 a device of the type described above is known, with which folded products can be removed directly from a folder and fed to further processing units or a delivery at a slower speed. In this device it is important that the drivers taking over the folded products are inserted behind the folded back before the two halves of the folded products close completely. This means that without the use of an opening cylinder in the subsequent processing phase e.g. Folded products are collected or inserted into these inserts. It is known to transfer folded products from cylinder to cylinder using grippers. It is also used in sheet machines, e.g. from DE 24 36 998 A1, known to guide sheets on a convex path in grippers to the boom.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs bezeichneten Gattung aufzuzeigen, mit der Falzprodukte direkt von dem Falzapparat übernommen und verlangsamt weitergeführt werden können, bei der jedoch die Übernahme der Falzprodukte nach abgeschlossener Falzbildung möglich ist. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Anwendung der Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen sowie aus der Beschreibung in Verbindung mit den Zeichnungen.The object of the invention is to show a device of the type mentioned at the beginning, with which folded products can be taken over directly from the folder and slowed down, but in which the takeover of the folded products is possible after the fold formation has been completed. This object is achieved by applying the features of the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Further developments of the invention result from the subclaims and from the description in conjunction with the drawings.

In diesen zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine schematische Darstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zur Übernahme und zum Weitertransport von Falzprodukten,
  • Fig. 2 einen vergrößerten Ausschnitt der Falzproduktübergabestelle,
  • Fig.3 einen Greiferarm in Seitenansicht und
  • Fig.4 einen Schnitt entlang der Linie I-I der Fig.2.
In these show:
  • 1 is a schematic representation of the device according to the invention for the transfer and further transport of folded products,
  • 2 shows an enlarged section of the folded product transfer point,
  • 3 shows a gripper arm in side view
  • 4 shows a section along the line II of FIG.

Gemäß Fig.1 werden von einem Sammelzylinder (1) kommende, an einem Falzklappenzylinder (2) gefalzte Bogen als Falzprodukte (3) nach deren Freigabe aus den Falzklappen (4) zwischen zwei feststehende Ableitzungen (5, 6) an eine Falzproduktübergabestelle (7) geführt. An der Falzproduktübergabestelle (7) führt eine umlaufende endlose Transportvorrichtung (8), vorzugsweise in Form einer Kette (10), vorbei, und zwar in der Weise, daß die an ihr im vorbestimmten Abstand angeordneten, als Falzproduktmitnehmer wirkenden Greiferarme (9), die an einer Transportkette (10) befestigt sind, durch Überführung von einer Linearbewegung in eine kreisförmige Bewegung an der Falzproduktübergabestelle (7) bzw. bereits davor eine erhöhte Geschwindigkeit annehmen. An den nach außen weisenden Enden der Greiferarme (9) sind Greifer (11) angeordnet, die eine abgewinkelte, mit dem Greiferarm (9) starr verbundene Greiferauflage (11 a) aufweisen, durch die eine Greiferzunge (11 b) geführt ist. Selbstverständlich können nebeneinander entsprechend der Breite der zu übernehmenden Falzprodukte (3) jeweils mehrere derartige Greiferarme (9) bzw. Greifer (11) angeordnet werden.According to FIG. 1, sheets coming from a collecting cylinder (1) and folded on a folding jaw cylinder (2) are folded products (3) after their release from the folding jaws (4) between two fixed derivations (5, 6) to a folding product transfer point (7) guided. At the folded product transfer point (7) leads a continuous endless transport device (8), preferably in the form of a chain (10), in such a way that the gripper arms (9) arranged on it at a predetermined distance and acting as folded product drivers, the are attached to a transport chain (10), by converting from a linear movement into a circular movement at the folded product transfer point (7), or assume an increased speed even before that. At the outwardly facing ends of the gripper arms (9) grippers (11) are arranged which have an angled gripper support (11 a) rigidly connected to the gripper arm (9), through which a gripper tongue (11 b) is guided. Of course, several such gripper arms (9) or grippers (11) can be arranged side by side according to the width of the folded products (3) to be taken over.

Damit die von den Falzklappen (4) freigegebenen Falzprodukte (3) an der Flazproduktübergabestelle (7) jeweils in den geöffneten Greifer (11) eingeschoben werden können, muß die Geschwindigkeit der Falzprodukte (3) etwas höher sein als die, bezogen auf die Lineargeschwindigkeit, bereits an der Falzproduktübergabestelle (7) erhöhte Geschwindigkeit der Greifer (11). Nach Übernahme eines Falzproduktes (3) werden die Greifer (11) wieder geschlossen und entlang den feststehenden Ableitzungen (5, 6) geführt. Hinter der vorzugsweise etwas kürzeren Ableitzunge (6) wird infolge der Fliehkraft das Falzprodukt (3) abgedrängt, so daß nachfolgend, d.h. nach dem Durchlaufen der etwa kreisförmigen Bahn, bereits eine Schuppung der Falzprodukte (3) erfolgen kann. die Umlenkung der Transportkette (10) erfolgt im Bereich der Falzproduktübergabestelle (7) über das Kettenrad (26).So that the folding products (3) released by the folding flaps (4) can each be inserted into the open gripper (11) at the handling product transfer point (7), the speed of the folding products (3) must be somewhat higher than that, based on the linear speed, already at the folded product transfer point (7) increased speed of the gripper (11). After taking over a folded product (3), the grippers (11) are closed again and guided along the fixed derivations (5, 6). The folded product (3) is pushed behind the preferably somewhat shorter deflection tongue (6) due to the centrifugal force, so that subsequently, i.e. after passing through the approximately circular path, shingling of the folded products (3) can already take place. the transport chain (10) is deflected in the area of the folded product transfer point (7) via the chain wheel (26).

Das Einlaufen eines Falzproduktes (3) in die geöffneten Greifer (11) ist am besten in Fig.2 zu sehen. Der Einlaufvorgang der Falzprodukte (3) zwischen Greiferauflage (11 a) und Greiferzunge (11 b) wird durch eine Transportrolle (19) unterstützt. Die einzelnen Winkelpositionen eines Greiferarms (9) sind in den Fig.1 und 2 mit den Bezugszeichen (9', 9", 9 ) bezeichnet. Aus Fig.1 und 2 geht hervor, daß in der Position (9") das zu übernehmende Falzprodukt (3) beginnt in den geöffneten Greifer (11) einzulaufen, so daß kurz danach der Greifer (11) geschlossen werden kann. Bevor jeweils ein Greiferarm (9) die Position (9") erreicht, wird gegen den Druck einer bzw. zweier Federn (21) durch ein entsprechendes geformtes Kurvenstück (18) die Greiferzunge (11 b) jeweils zwecks Öffnung des Greifers (11) nach außen gesteuert. Die Übernahme eines Falzproduktes (3) wird durch eine entsprechende Formgebung und Positionierung des Kurvenstücks (18) der Greifer (11) zeitgerecht wieder geschlossen, so daß das Falzprodukt (3) zwischen Greiferauflage (11a) und Greiferzunge (11 b) festgeklemmt ist und sicher weitergeführt werden kann.The running-in of a folded product (3) into the opened grippers (11) can best be seen in FIG. 2. The feed process of the folded products (3) between the gripper pad (11 a) and the gripper tongue (11 b) is supported by a transport roller (19). The individual angular positions of a gripper arm (9) are designated in FIGS. 1 and 2 by the reference numerals (9 ', 9 ", 9). From FIGS. 1 and 2 it can be seen that in position (9") that which is to be taken over Folded product (3) begins to run into the open gripper (11) so that the gripper (11) can be closed shortly thereafter. Before each gripper arm (9) reaches the position (9 "), the gripper tongue (11b) is respectively countered by the pressure of one or two springs (21) by means of a correspondingly shaped curved piece (18) for the purpose of opening the gripper (11) The takeover of a folded product (3) is closed again in a timely manner by appropriate shaping and positioning of the curved piece (18) of the gripper (11), so that the folded product (3) between the gripper support (11a) and the gripper tongue (11 b) is clamped and can be continued safely.

Aus Fig.1 geht des weiteren die Führung der Transportkette (10) durch Leitschienen (15 und 16) und durch weitere Kettenräder (26) hervor. Ebenso wie das Kurvenstück (18) dient ein weiteres Kurvenstück (17) im Bereich einer Falzprodukabgabestelle, beispielsweise an einem Bogenstapel 27, zum zeitgerechten Öffnen der Greifer (11), so daß die nun verlangsamt geführten Falzprodukte (3) über ein Leitstück (12) an einem Anschlag (13) exakt übereinander abgelegt werden können. Es ist aber auch möglich, die von den Greifern (11) getragenen Falzprodukte (3) einer entsprechend verlängerten Transportkette bzw. einem weiteren Transportsystem (14) zuzuführen bzw. durch diese weitertransportieren zu lassen.1 also shows the guidance of the transport chain (10) by guide rails (15 and 16) and by further chain wheels (26). Just like the curve piece (18), a further curve piece (17) in the area of a folding product delivery point, for example on a sheet stack 27, serves for the timely opening of the grippers (11) so that the folding products (3), which are now slowed down, are guided via a guide piece (12). can be placed exactly one above the other at a stop (13). However, it is also possible to feed the folded products (3) carried by the grippers (3) to a correspondingly lengthened transport chain or a further transport system (14) or to have them transported further by them.

Fig.2 zeigt einen vergrößerten Ausschnitt der Falzproduktübergabestelle, aus dem hervorgeht, daß die Greifer (11) kurz vor dem Erriechen der Falzklappenzylinderperipherie durch das Kurvenstück (18) über einen Stößel (20) gegen den Druck der von Federn (21) geöffnet und nach Übernahme eines Falzproduktes (3) wieder geschlossen werden, wonach der Abbremsvorgang der Falzprodukte bei geschlossenen Greifern (11) erfolgt.Fig. 2 shows an enlarged section of the folded product transfer point, from which it can be seen that the grippers (11) opened shortly before the jaw cylinder periphery reached through the cam piece (18) via a plunger (20) against the pressure of the springs (21) and after Takeover of a folded product (3) can be closed again, after which the braking process of the folded products takes place with closed grippers (11).

Die Fig.3 und 4 zeigen im einzelnen ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer Führung der Transportkette (10) mit an dieser angeordneten Greiferarmen (9). Der Grundaufbau der Transportkette (10) entspricht dem einer herkömmlichen Rollenkette mit üblicher Teilung. Aus Gründen der Stabilität der Konstruktion ist es vorteilhaft, eine doppelte Abstützung bzw. Führung der Greifer (11) bzw. der Greiferauflage (11 a) und der Greiferzunge (11 b) vorzusehen. Die nachfolgend beschriebenen Teile werden deshalb bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig.4 jeweils für die linke und rechte Seite zur Unterscheidung mit den Buchstaben a bzw. b bezeichnet. Die Transportkette (10) umfaßt demnach Rollen (28) und entsprechende Laschen bzw. Glieder (29). Im Bereich eines jeden Greiferarmes (9) sind die äußeren Kettenglieder zu Armen ausgebildet. Die verlängerten Bolzen (25) der Transportkette (10) tragen zusätzliche Führungsrollen (24), die die Transportkette (10) gegen Flieh- und Steuerungskräfte beim Auflaufen auf das Kurvenstück (18) von innen abstützen.3 and 4 show in detail an embodiment of a guide of the transport chain (10) with gripper arms (9) arranged thereon. The basic structure of the transport chain (10) corresponds to that of a conventional roller chain with a normal division. For reasons of structural stability, it is advantageous to provide double support or guidance of the grippers (11) or of the gripper support (11 a) and the gripper tongue (11 b). In the embodiment according to FIG. 4, the parts described below are therefore designated with the letters a and b respectively for the left and right sides. The transport chain (10) accordingly comprises rollers (28) and corresponding plates or links (29). In the area of each gripper arm (9), the outer chain links are designed as arms. The elongated bolts (25) of the transport chain (10) carry additional guide rollers (24), which support the transport chain (10) against centrifugal and control forces when running onto the curve piece (18) from the inside.

Die Steuerungsbewegung wird über stößel (20) gegen die Kraft der Druckfedern (21) auf die Greiferzunge (11 b) übertragen, wobei die Stößel (20) in Führungen (22 und 23) laufen. Wie bereits erwähnt, ist die Greiferauflage (11a) starr ausgeführt und fest mit den Greiferarmen (9) verbunden. Die Druckfedern (21) bewirken also, daß die Greiferzungen (11b) vor und nach dem Überlaufen der Kurvenstücke (17 bzw. 18) fest geschlossen werden, so daß eine sichere Führung der Falzprodukte (3) gewährleistet ist.The control movement is transmitted via plunger (20) against the force of the compression springs (21) to the gripper tongue (11 b), the plunger (20) running in guides (22 and 23). As already mentioned, the gripper support (11a) is rigid and is firmly connected to the gripper arms (9). The compression springs (21) thus have the effect that the gripper tongues (11b) are firmly closed before and after the curve pieces (17 or 18) overflow, so that the folded products (3) are guided securely.
